A 14-year-old male alpaca had refractory pleural effusion. The cause of the effusion was not apparent either radiographically or sonographically, or following a pleural fluid cytologic examination. Using computed tomographic (CT) examination, a dorsal paravertebral mass was identified and similar masses were found in the cranial mediastinum, retroperitoneal space, and adjacent to the hepatic entry of the portal vein. The histopathologic diagnosis was multicentric T-cell lymphoma. CT examination may prove to be a valuable imaging modality in the localization and staging of neoplasia in new world camelids.
一只14岁的雄性羊驼患有难治性胸腔积液。无论是通过放射学检查、超声检查，还是胸腔积液细胞学检查，都未明确积液的病因。通过计算机断层扫描（CT）检查，发现了一个椎旁背侧肿块，并且在纵隔前部、腹膜后间隙以及门静脉肝门入口附近也发现了类似的肿块。组织病理学诊断为多中心T细胞淋巴瘤。CT检查可能被证明是一种在新大陆骆驼科动物肿瘤定位和分期中具有重要价值的成像方式。
